kiwikitbasher Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I'm trying to help a friend source some kits by this small Japanese company, but we have had no luck so far. Can anyone help please? Cheers, Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jim S Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) Hello, http://akatombo.air-nifty.com/akatomboworks/?optimized=0 Don't know if they offer an English version of this page but it's a start. I've never done business with this company, I'm just good at finding oddball things on the internet. From what I've read it seems to be a one man show with some interesting kits. Found a mobile version of a blog I think- http://app.m-cocolog.jp/t/typecast/128610/101309 Hope this helps. Jim S Edited March 8, 2017 by Jim S Spelling Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tailspin Turtle Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 For what it's worth, I just ordered and received a Blackburn B-48 Firecrest from Atsushi Koyanagi, who is Akatombo (see https://www.facebook.com/atsushi.koyanagi.520 on Facebook). I paid with PayPal and the kit took about a month to get to Connecticut from Japan. It looks great for a cottage-industry product. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find an on-line source in English listing his product line, much of which is out of production in any event. However, he responds almost immediately to requests in English by email for a current list of what he has available, almost all of which consists of odd-ball, one-off aircraft, most non US.
